MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

The 240-acre Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens were first planted in 1801 and are famous today for their azaleas, rhododendrons and even a wallaby colony. Within the grounds sits an Italianate mansion housing elegant bedrooms and this intimate restaurant. The 'Estate Experience' tasting menu uses seasonal ingredients from their own land, with Chef Jean Delport's South African heritage shining through – such as in the carrot biltong forming part of the signature 'Rabbit Eats Carrot' dish. The wine list continues the South African trend, with choices from their own Benguela Cove estate.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"We draw inspiration for our multi-course tasting menu from the estate's 240-acre woodland, its own vegetable garden and local farmers who uphold organic principles. We can then build up a pantry by patient harvesting and preservation, offering a taste of the ever-changing seasons."
